S ummary : The addition of 50 μg of sulphamezathine/ml to egg‐tellurite‐glycine‐pyruvate agar was effective in suppressing the growth and swarming of Proteus spp. Small numbers of Staphylococcus aureus (10 3 /g) could be recovered quantitatively on the modified medium in the presence of up to 10 6 /g of mixed Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis strains.
